I finally got a chance to take Chris’s Four Runner apart. I fond the rear ring and pinion trashed. The front had a broken axle shaft on the passenger side and he blow up the birfield and the driver’s side.

so is this considered a suprise to you guys still....i mean, at this point, why would you even take pics of broken yota axle parts?

Hey, you can't group all of us in the same group. Busa wheels the piss out of his rig and Chris has some ****ty luck keeping his in one piece.Originally Posted by Fredo

I agree it has to do with your style of wheeling, balls to the wall will break **** regardless of it strength. I think Chris's axles went on strike due to the American transplant in the powertrain area.

Thunderbird will do just fine.
thats incredible, especially considering that the ARB survived that
Creighton, you have done stuff with that jeep that would make a goat go "holy ****!"
i agree jimmy...im not sure what tires chris is using now, i assume somewhere around 36's, but that combined with a healthy v8 => broken axles....its much different with a 22re

who set up the gears?
It's been years since people tried running stock birfs between 35+ tires with locker, gears and 350ci. I'm only running 33s and stock drivetrain and am waiting until I can afford longs to lock it up
That's a little conservative Eric. I think you're pretty safe to run 33s and be locked without Longs. You'd really have to be in a bind to tear them up with that combo. I like the "on strike" bit Jimmy.
The disco ball in my mouth, insinuates I'm ballin'
Seriously?
How was your runner set up?
I ran mini truck birfs with 35s for a long time. Just dont back up with the wheels turned and they'll last a while.

you gaht lockah?
I hate breakage and am trying really hard to build my rig so that any moron (me
sorry for the hijack, chris. 4.88 and 30 spline time?
thats what there disigned to do.... blow up everything else before the locker.... guess it works
ARBs are a strong design. When the longfeilds came out, it moved up the breaking point on toyota axles substantially (sp?). As a result, people began breaking inner axles first. The big problem was the differences in the new breaking point versus the old far exceeded most lockers design specs. So now when you snapped a shaft, you had a descent chance of killing your locker as well. Lunchbox style lockers didn't stand a chance, and even the detriot locker often was killed by the backlash. Yet ARBs to my knowledge have never suffered a failure.
not trying to be an ass here, but chris had it coming. A big heavy 2nd gen 4runner, a v8, 35s, and a locker all on stock birfs? Thats just a recipe for disaster. In that kind of rig I wouldn't run anything short of a D60
